Abstract

Right ventricular dysfunction post heart transplantation (HTx) is a common problem and its likelihood to occur after combined heart-liver transplantation is even higher. The placement of an extracorporeal planned right ventricular assist device following the HTx during liver transplantation may assist in preventing this complication.
